Gigabyte has been doing better with their solid cap designs. I believe many of their boards are back to 3 year warranties as well. As for CBase though we stick with Intel and buy through authorized channels. That entitles us to benefits that no other component manufacturer in the industry provides. Namely, next day replacements on many motherboards.
I personally run a Gigabyte board currently but other than overclocking it hasn't offered me any other benefits. I don't use onboard audio and the Ethernet controller is pretty lame. Most Intel boards at least use an Intel NIC which are very well supported.
